Mumbai: Designer Sanjay Garg is set to showcase his collection at the legendary Royal Opera House as a part of the finale show at the opening day of the Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017 that is starting from August 16.

Cosmetic brand Lakmé is going to host the show and the brand will go back to its very inception, as the brand name was inspired by a French Opera named Lakmé, which in turn derives its name from a reference to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, said a statement.

The show will see the presence of Simone Tata, the lady who steered the brand forward after Naval Tata established it in the 1950s.

Talking about the show, Purnima Lamba, Head of Innovation at Lakmé said, “Opera is in the legacy of Lakmé, with the origins of our name being traced back to a French Opera, called Lakmé. We look forward to a theatrical extravaganza on opening night.”

The five-day fashion week is going to take place at St. Regis hotel here.
